    Direct costs = 3633 (admin and selling costs are nothing to do with gross profit margins)

    If the gross margin is 30%, this means that Profit is 30% of selling price so the relationship between cost, profit and selling price is:

    Cost + Profit = Selling price
    70% 30% 100%

    So, to go from cost (70%) to selling price (100%) you need to multiply the cost by 100/70.

    3633 x 100/70 = 5,190
